peace_n be_v when_o it_o be_v in_o a_o prosperous_a condition_n in_o arm_n and_o notwithstanding_o this_o prosperity_n their_o proposition_n be_v to_o be_v equal_a and_o just_a that_o the_o peace_n

oftentimes_o overcome_v the_o natural_a instinct_n in_o man_n and_o in_o unreasonable_a creature_n as_o it_o shall_v appear_v by_o these_o instance_n 1._o a_o moral_n socrates_n that_o be_v repute_v by_o the_o oracle_n of_o apollo_n the_o wise_a the_o most_o temperate_a and_o the_o meek_a man_n of_o all_o the_o greek_n be_v natural_o incline_v to_o inconstancy_n licentiousness_n and_o wrath_n
